Bobby Okereke really wanted to deliver a hit to Daniel Jones, but he did it in the worst way.
As the New York Giants quarterback was clearly sliding to give himself up, the Colts linebacker decided to still come in and deliver a dirty forearm shiver to the head and then Jones’ head bounced off the turf.
Okereke was rightfully penalized.
A few plays later, Jones would score on a designed QB run as he got hit once again by the same player.
The Giants got back in the playoffs behind four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) from Jones, who finished 19-of-24 passing for 177 yards and rushed for 91 yards on 11 carries.

The Giants needed only a win over the Colts to secure the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs, where they are likely to play either the San Francisco 49ers or Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. The franchise has now clinched a winning season for just the second time in 10 years.
The last time the Giants reached the postseason, Eli Manning the quarterback, and Odell Beckham Jr. was in his third year. It is most remembered for a memorable boat trip and a Giants playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.
